2010-2012 Tumblr was truly a magical experience. It wasn't a social media for your real life friends or news, it was just a place for fandoms to share tons of gifs. And there was a lot of creativity once people started sharing their own art as well.

It's such a shame that we probably won't have another website like this again. I guess some of that stuff has moved to Discord now or sub-communities within Twitter, Reddit, etc but it's just not the same.



It's surreal to see posts[1] now eulogizing the 2010s in the same way as the 2000s so often was.
